The word beta supposedly means that a product is not quite there yet – it’s still baking, so to speak. We see this word everywhere these days. The nature of software is that we’re in a perpetual beta state.

I know that some of you like to beta test software. Now, I’m not talking about being able to get your hands on software before others do. Sure, that’s part of the perks. I’m talking about those of you who really love to test the software, report the bugs, and dig into it to see where it works – and doesn’t work! Did you know you can sign up to help beta test software?

Check out iBetaTest. Sign up for an account, and let them know what kind of user are you. Are you a developer? Are you more of just a power user? iBetaTest is the new best friend of both beta testers and developers. This service is making it easier to bring the two very instrumental groups together.

iBetaTest is an on-line service designed to bridge the gap between iPhone application developers and beta testers. We’re here to provide iPhone developers with a community dedicated to quality control, and at the same time provide Beta Testers with what they crave the most: exclusive access / first look to the apps not yet seen (and maybe even some cash).

Now, if you want to test only beta software for the Mac, check out MacDeveloper. MacDeveloper helps companies and individual software developers alike improve the quality of their products by providing a platform to have their applications properly tested from a well informed, and energetic Beta Pool.

MacDeveloper is an opt-in service for testers who love what the Mac community offers and genuinely want to test. We feel the platform is an excellent alternative to Bundled software avenues. At the same time a developer’s software is being tested, they’re also giving back to the community who supports them.
